SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’
and ‘‘our’’ means the EPA. In our
October 6, 2020 proposal for this action
(85 FR 63066) we inadvertently referred
to the May 8, 2019 submittals as May
10, 2019 submittals. The cover letters to
these submittals are dated May 10, but
they were actually received by EPA on
the 8th.
I. Background
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving and
conditionally approving State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions
submitted by the State of Colorado on
May 31, 2017, May 14, 2018 and May
8, 2019. The revisions are to Colorado
Air Quality Control Commission
(Commission or AQCC) Regulation
Number 7 (Reg. 7). The revisions to Reg.
7 address Colorado’s reasonably
available control technology (RACT) SIP
obligations for Moderate 2008 ozone
nonattainment areas; add incorporation
by reference dates to rules and reference
methods; and make typographical,
grammatical, and formatting corrections.

SUMMARY:
Also, in this action the EPA is correcting
a July 3, 2018 final rule pertaining to
Colorado’s SIP. In that action, we
inadvertently omitted regulatory text
corresponding to ‘‘incorporation by
reference’’ (IBR) materials for graphic
arts and printing revisions to Reg. 7,
Section XIII (adopted November 17,
2016). The EPA is taking this action
pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA).
The background for this action is
discussed in detail in our October 6,
2020 proposal (85 FR 63066). In that
document we proposed to approve
various revisions to the Colorado SIP
that were submitted to the EPA on May
31, 2017, May 14, 2018 and May 8,
2019. In particular, we proposed to
approve certain area source rules to
meet the 2008 8-hour ozone national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS)
RACT requirements for Moderate
nonattainment areas that were not acted
on in our July 3, 2018 rulemaking
approving the State’s attainment
demonstration and various SIP

elements.1 We also proposed to approve
into the SIP the submitted revisions to
Colorado’s Reg. 7 that we have not
previously acted on, except for Sections
XII and XVIII (from the May 2018
submittal) and Sections XVI.D.4.b.(i)
and XVI.D.4.d. (from the two May 2019
submittals), which we will be acting on
at a later date (see Tables 4 and 5 of the
preamble to the proposed rule). Finally,
we proposed to approve IBR material
that was submitted in May 2017 but
inadvertently excluded from our July 3,
2018 action. The factual and legal
background for this action is discussed
in detail in our October 6, 2020
proposed approval. The proposal
provides a detailed description of the
revisions and the rationale for EPA’s
proposed actions. We did not receive
any comments on the proposal.
II. Final Action
The EPA is approving submitted
revisions to Sections I, II, III, V, VI, VII 2,
VIII, IX, X, XI, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII,
XIX and XX of Reg. 7 from the State’s
May 31, 2017, May 14, 2018 and May
8, 2019 submittals as shown in Table 1,
except for those revisions we are not
acting on as represented in Table 2. We
are approving Colorado’s determination
that the above rules constitute RACT for
the specific categories addressed in
Tables 3 and 4, except for the aerospace
category, which we are conditionally
approving. We are also finding that for
VOC RACT requirements at major nonCTG VOC sources, Colorado has RACTlevel controls in place for the DMNFR
Area under the 2008 8-hour ozone
standard. We are not finalizing our
RACT determination for major sources
of NOX in this document because there
are certain NOX source categories as to
which we have not yet determined that
the State has met RACT requirements.
We will be addressing those categories
and requirements in a future action 3 4.
1 See Final Rule, Approval and Promulgation of
State Implementation Plan Revisions; Colorado;
Attainment Demonstration for the 2008 8-Hour
Ozone Standard for the Denver Metro/North Front
Range Nonattainment Area, and Approval of
Related Revisions, 83 FR 31068, 31069–31072.
2 Our October 6 proposal incorrectly stated at one
point that one of the State’s May 8, 2019 SIP
submittals contained revisions to Reg. 7, Section
VII. See 85 FR at 63074. In fact, neither of the
State’s submittals on that date involved revisions to
Section VII. A correct and complete list of the
affected provisions appears at Table 4 of our
October 6 proposal, and in Table 1 of this final rule.
3 Rules in this column were struck from
Colorado’s regulation number 7 in the May 8, 2019
submittal—RACT for brewing related activities and
wood furniture surface coating operations. Because
these rules were not approved into the SIP from
previous submittals, there is no action for EPA to
take remove them from the SIP.

4 See Colorado’s August 4, 2020 letter committing
to submit to EPA a negative declaration certifying
that there are no sources in the DMNFR Area above
the aerospace CTG applicability threshold
(contained within the docket). The EPA is
conditionally approving Colorado’s determination
that there are no sources in the DMNFR Area
subject to the aerospace CTG and therefore RACT
is satisfied for this category. If we finalize our
proposed conditional approval, Colorado must
submit the negative declaration, after state notice
and public hearing, to EPA within one year of our
finalization of the conditional approval. If Colorado
does not submit the negative declaration within one
year, or if we find Colorado’s revisions to be
incomplete, or we disapprove Colorado’s revisions,
this conditional approval will convert to a
disapproval. If any of these occur and our
conditional approval converts to a disapproval, that
will constitute a disapproval of a required plan
element under part D of title I of the Act, which
starts an 18-month clock for sanctions, see CAA
section 179(a)(2), and the two-year clock for a
federal implementation plan, see CAA section
110(c)(1)(B).

III. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, the EPA is
finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the
incorporation by reference of Colorado
Regulation Number 7 pertaining to
regulation of sources of VOC and NOX
emissions, except that we are not acting
on Reg. 7, Sections II.B., XII,
XVI.D.4.b.(i), XVI.D.4.d., and XVIII in
this action.5 Therefore, these materials
have been approved by the EPA for
inclusion in the State implementation
plan, have been incorporated by
reference by the EPA into that plan, are
fully federally enforceable under
5 See section VI (EPA’s Evaluation of SIP Control
Measures in Reg. 7) of our October 6 proposed rule
for additional discussion. 85 FR at 63072.

sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of
the effective date of the final rulemaking
of the EPA’s approval, and will be
incorporated by reference by the
Director of the Federal Register in the
next update to the SIP compilation.6
The EPA has made, and will continue
to make, these materials generally
available through www.regulations.gov
and at the EPA Region 8 Office (please
contact the person identified in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information).
Therefore, these materials have been
approved by the EPA for inclusion in
the SIP, have been incorporated by
reference by the EPA into that plan, are
fully federally enforceable under
sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of
the effective date of the final rulemaking

IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k);
40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, the EPA’s role is to
approve state choices, provided that
they meet the criteria of the CAA.
Accordingly, this action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason,
this action:

action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded

• Is not subject to requirements of
section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, the SIP is not approved
to apply on any Indian reservation land
or in any other area where EPA or an
Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have
tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by April 26, 2021.
Filing a petition for reconsideration by
the Administrator of this final rule does
not affect the finality of this action for
the purposes of judicial review nor does
it extend the time within which a
petition for judicial review may be filed,
and shall not postpone the effectiveness

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R08-OAR-2020-0114; FRL-10019-22-Region 8]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Colorado;
Revisions to Regulation Number 7 and RACT Requirements for 2008 8-Hour
Ozone Standard for the Denver Metro/North Front Range Nonattainment
Area
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving and
conditionally approving State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions
submitted by the State of Colorado on May 31, 2017, May 14, 2018 and
May 8, 2019. The revisions are to Colorado Air Quality Control
Commission (Commission or AQCC) Regulation Number 7 (Reg. 7). The
revisions to Reg. 7 address Colorado's reasonably available control
technology (RACT) SIP obligations for Moderate 2008 ozone nonattainment
areas; add incorporation by reference dates to rules and reference
methods; and make typographical, grammatical, and formatting
corrections. Also, in this action the EPA is correcting a July 3, 2018
final rule pertaining to Colorado's SIP. In that action, we
inadvertently omitted regulatory text corresponding to ``incorporation
by reference'' (IBR) materials for graphic arts and printing revisions
to Reg. 7, Section XIII (adopted November 17, 2016). The EPA is taking
this action pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA).
DATES: This rule is effective on March 26, 2021.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R08-OAR-2020-0114. All documents in the docket are
listed on the https://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in
the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or
other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain
other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the
internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form.
Publicly available docket materials are available through https://www.regulations.gov, or please contact the person identified in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section for additional availability
information.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Abby Fulton, Air and Radiation
Division, EPA, Region 8, Mailcode 8ARD-IO, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver,
Colorado 80202-1129, (303) 312-6563, [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA. In our October 6, 2020 proposal for this action
(85 FR 63066) we inadvertently referred to the May 8, 2019 submittals
as May 10, 2019 submittals. The cover letters to these submittals are
dated May 10, but they were actually received by EPA on the 8th.
I. Background
The background for this action is discussed in detail in our
October 6, 2020 proposal (85 FR 63066). In that document we proposed to
approve various revisions to the Colorado SIP that were submitted to
the EPA on May 31, 2017, May 14, 2018 and May 8, 2019. In particular,
we proposed to approve certain area source rules to meet the 2008 8-
hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) RACT
requirements for Moderate nonattainment areas that were not acted on in
our July 3, 2018 rulemaking approving the State's attainment
demonstration and various SIP elements.\1\ We also proposed to approve
into the SIP the submitted revisions to Colorado's Reg. 7 that we have
not previously acted on, except for Sections XII and XVIII (from the
May 2018 submittal) and Sections XVI.D.4.b.(i) and XVI.D.4.d. (from the
two May 2019 submittals), which we will be acting on at a later date
(see Tables 4 and 5 of the preamble to the proposed rule). Finally, we
proposed to approve IBR material that was submitted in May 2017 but
inadvertently excluded from our July 3, 2018 action. The factual and
legal background for this action is discussed in detail in our October
6, 2020 proposed approval. The proposal provides a detailed description
of the revisions and the rationale for EPA's proposed actions. We did
not receive any comments on the proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Final Rule, Approval and Promulgation of State
Implementation Plan Revisions; Colorado; Attainment Demonstration
for the 2008 8-Hour Ozone Standard for the Denver Metro/North Front
Range Nonattainment Area, and Approval of Related Revisions, 83 FR
31068, 31069-31072.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Final Action
The EPA is approving submitted revisions to Sections I, II, III, V,
VI, VII \2\, VIII, IX, X, XI, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XIX and XX of
Reg. 7 from the State's May 31, 2017, May 14, 2018 and May 8, 2019
submittals as shown in Table 1, except for those revisions we are not
acting on as represented in Table 2. We are approving Colorado's
determination that the above rules constitute RACT for the specific
categories addressed in Tables 3 and 4, except for the aerospace
category, which we are conditionally approving. We are also finding
that for VOC RACT requirements at major non-CTG VOC sources, Colorado
has RACT-level controls in place for the DMNFR Area under the 2008 8-
hour ozone standard. We are not finalizing our RACT determination for
major sources of NOX in this document because there are
certain NOX source categories as to which we have not yet
determined that the State has met RACT requirements. We will be
addressing those categories and requirements in a future action
3 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Our October 6 proposal incorrectly stated at one point that
one of the State's May 8, 2019 SIP submittals contained revisions to
Reg. 7, Section VII. See 85 FR at 63074. In fact, neither of the
State's submittals on that date involved revisions to Section VII. A
correct and complete list of the affected provisions appears at
Table 4 of our October 6 proposal, and in Table 1 of this final
rule.
\3\ Rules in this column were struck from Colorado's regulation
number 7 in the May 8, 2019 submittal--RACT for brewing related
activities and wood furniture surface coating operations. Because
these rules were not approved into the SIP from previous submittals,
there is no action for EPA to take remove them from the SIP.
\4\ See Colorado's August 4, 2020 letter committing to submit to
EPA a negative declaration certifying that there are no sources in
the DMNFR Area above the aerospace CTG applicability threshold
(contained within the docket). The EPA is conditionally approving
Colorado's determination that there are no sources in the DMNFR Area
subject to the aerospace CTG and therefore RACT is satisfied for
this category. If we finalize our proposed conditional approval,
Colorado must submit the negative declaration, after state notice
and public hearing, to EPA within one year of our finalization of
the conditional approval. If Colorado does not submit the negative
declaration within one year, or if we find Colorado's revisions to
be incomplete, or we disapprove Colorado's revisions, this
conditional approval will convert to a disapproval. If any of these
occur and our conditional approval converts to a disapproval, that
will constitute a disapproval of a required plan element under part
D of title I of the Act, which starts an 18-month clock for
sanctions, see CAA section 179(a)(2), and the two-year clock for a
federal implementation plan, see CAA section 110(c)(1)(B).

III. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that
includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of
1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of
Colorado Regulation Number 7 pertaining to regulation of sources of VOC
and NOX emissions, except that we are not acting on Reg. 7,
Sections II.B., XII, XVI.D.4.b.(i), XVI.D.4.d., and XVIII in this
action.\5\ Therefore, these materials have been approved by the EPA for
inclusion in the State implementation plan, have been incorporated by
reference by the EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable
under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the
final rulemaking of the EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by
reference by the Director of the Federal Register in the next update to
the SIP compilation.\6\ The EPA has made, and will continue to make,
these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and at
the EPA Region 8 Office (please contact the person identified in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information). Therefore, these materials have been approved by the EPA
for inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated by reference by the
EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110
and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of
the EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next
update to the SIP compilation.\7\

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly,
this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements
and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by
state law. For that reason, this action:
[[Page 11128]]
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, described in the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by April 26, 2021. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).
